The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part three — Page 143

Well, it scares me! Non-contact can quickly become contact for clumsy ones like me! I was the first person ever to get hurt in gym class (in elementary school) while playing with the big parachute thing. *hangs head*

Hey Diva - I totally understand the reluctance you're feeling. Seeing a therapist can feel like an admission of defeat, when in actuality it's the beginning of getting better. As long as you can find someone with whom you have some rapport, just being able to talk without getting the kind of reaction you expect from your mom will be helpful.

Allie, if Diva can get into ultimate frisbee... but it sounds like you have a lot to choose from. I ended up heavily involved with my college choir. It was one of the most important parts of the whole experience for me.

::tries and fails to picture Emcee "getting down and dirty" on the football field!::

Emcee's got spunk! I can totally picture her kicking ass on the field!

I've been looking into choir. There are two to choose from, and I think one has a better director. I may audition!

I'm so not a sports person.

I've been thinking about buying all eight of the soundtrack covers (I already have a Roger one that I've opened) and keeping them untouched until they become big collectors items in the future and I can sell them off in my late, destitute old age.

Sound like a plan?

::has watched to many Antiques Roadshows::

Exactly. Random bits of popular culture from the 60's are now worth huge sums. Not that I'd probably want to sell them anyway, but the idea occurred to me.

And of course the marketing people were way ahead of me, which is why they're calling these versions the "collectors edition." It's very clever of them, because I *do* want to collect them.

Thank you, and likewise.

Actually, I can't go home for the holiday this year, and I'm really upset. I don't even think I have time to go to services here, because I have a an exam Tuesday, and an exam and a paper due Wednesday. It's totally unfair, considering that I go to school with a pretty big Jewish population. They say you're excused, etc, etc, but that's a huge HUGE hassle to make up that kind of work. *is pissed*

I have the magazine stuff, because I wanted to hang it on my wall. And magazines are so so so much cheaper than CD's. (They're shooting a cover picture for Life Magazine soon -- be on the lookout! That'll be something to have.)

Guys -- sorry to be a downer, but since we've been shooting around advice on this thread, I need some.

Some of you know this friend, some of you don't. Anyway, we've had a really rocky relationship. We were very close, and had some tiny fights. Then we had a huge blow-out over something petty, and had a "talk" that technically made us okay, but we've not really spent much time together since, except for big theatre events in which she wanted to tag along with my friends and I. We're fine in a big group -- civil and maybe even friendly, but alone togetherness is just... awkward. She's become very close with my roommate, and I've had to ever-so-slowly give up, which is one of the hardest things for me.

Anyway, this morning my roommate told me that she just told people via LJ that she's transferring out of our school TOMORROW to go to the University in her home state, and study the complete opposite of what she wanted to study here -- she wants to go be a math major (they have a fabulous math dept), and make a bigger difference than she might studying history here, because of women in the professions of math and science, etc, etc.

Something tells me she won't see fit to say goodbye to me. I feel like I should wish her the best, and say goodbye... but I wonder if she feels the same way. What do I do? Do I bother, or should this just be my final way of letting it go?

I can't catch a break lately. Sigh.

I don't know this person, but if it were me, I think I would say goodbye. Have some closure, maybe. Even if you're not that close anymore, you were at one time!

Emcee, do it.

Bored? That's REALLY suprising. What does she want that she doesn't have? I know she has friends and I thought she liked all of her courses.

*hug* I'm sorry, chica.

Talk to her, Em. Trust me on that one.

She is selfless. Sometimes, talking to her is like looking at a future version of what I could be. I might very well be doing what she is doing in a few years, but I can't imagine being ok with it.

Well, no matter how many times I've said she's selfish, this isn't one of them.

My roommate just said that some friends of ours are going out to dinner to say goodbye. It's not anywhere that I can eat anything and I need to watch a movie for Spanish, and I also don't know that I'm actually invited, but I guess I'll drop by to say goodbye. I suppose it's the 'right thing' to do. I don't know that I should talk to her, other than to wish her well... because what's the point of saying anything that matters to me, if I'm sure we'll never talk again?

---

Ironic, from you. sigh.

I'm losing people left and right. Literally and figuratively.

But realistically, we'll fall out of touch for good. There's no reason to keep it -- we hardly talk now. I've played this game before, and every day I hate myself for letting it go the way it does. But it's too hard to do anything about it.
